new intro

Post by geordielee »

Hi,I would like to introduce myself, My name is Lee ,I live in South Shields in Tyne and Wear.
I am an Amusement Technician with nearly 30 years experience in the leisure industry.
One of the arcade owners where I live has asked me if I could supply and look after some sweetvend type machines in his site,As I have not done this before I thought I would research the idea.and then I have come across this excellent site.And I thought I would register as you all seem very helpful,This looks like it could be a good sideline to what I already do and because I am already out there I could probably work on a few leads for myself,
One of the first things I need to ask is,are all the barrel locks on the top the same key as I have bought one red sweetvend type machine on a stand and there is the possibility of buying more from this warehouse near me,but the only thing is that there are no keys for any of them,
If all the keys are different does anyone have a cost for new locks with all keys alike as i wouldn't want too many keys.
Thank you all in advance :wave:

hi Lee,

Keyed alike locks are quite easy to come buy you can try roger@rockvend or toyvend in Rugby whom can both supply the locks. Regarding key numers there are many different types for diff machines so unless you know of another operator close with a large bunch of keys to hand then replacing the locks may be easier. :thumbup:

Have sent you a pm as well.
Regards Matt
